A really nice climb, relatively demanding, rare are the 3km sections so difficult in the area. There is a more difficult variant, via rue georges livet (in couzon), where instead of having 1km at 10％ followed by a relative flat, you have 700m at 15％^^.... read more

It's a very surprising climb from the outset, requiring a big, sustained effort, but once you've made it up the mountain, you'll have a truly magnificent view of the Lyonnais countryside from the top, especially at sunset.

Une montée très surprenante dès le début qui demande un gros effort, soutenu, mais une fois la montagne réalisée, c’est vraiment une belle vue au sommet sur les mains du Lyonnais, notamment au coucher du soleil

A really nice climb, relatively demanding, rare are the 3km sections so difficult in the area. There is a more difficult variant, via rue georges livet (in couzon), where instead of having 1km at 10％ followed by a relative flat, you have 700m at 15％^^.

Une montée vraiment chouette, relativement exigeante, rare sont les sections de 3km aussi difficile dans le coin. Il existe une variante, plus difficile, par la rue georges livet (dans couzon), ou au lieu d'avoir 1km à 10％ suivi d'un relatif replat, on a 700mètres à 15％^^
